Heavy Weather (1995)(dvd)
Synopsis: ' Heavy Weather '
is one of the merriest Wodehouse adaptations. Peter O'Toole is nearly over the
top as a Lord Emsworth, the owner of the empress von Blandings, its prize pig,
but more perfectly it is so convincingly dotty and its TIMING like that, that
all possible Quibbles are deleted immediately by the memory.
It is
partnered by wonderfully droll a Galahad Threepwood (its brother) easily from
Richard Briers and their gorgon sister Connie, and Judy Parfitt, her neck
muscles alone speaks volumes. Samuel the west is a perfect Bertie Wooster like
Airhead, always a central Wodehouse letter. There are two secondary letters,
which steal throughout her scenes, David Bambers oily P.I. Pilbeam and Richard
Johnsons irascible Lord Tibury.
